⑵ Research result
① Translation and annotation of『JeonCheakJeongSu』the first volume and the second volume were completed.
② Based on the translated and annotated data of 『JeonCheakJeongSu』the first volume and the second volume, Two categories (science, diplomacy) were added from the six political, economic, social, cultural, talent, military, and national defense presented in the existing research plan.
Through this study, I checked it was confirmed that king Taejong to King Sejong period tended to take several exam questions together, but in king Seongjong to king Jungjong period, it gradually changed to focus on one topic or deal with similar topics together. In particular, it was confirmed that exam questions dealing with more philosophical and ideological contents appeared as the understanding of Neo-Confucianism deepened during the reign of King Jungjong.
While conducting the this research, I submitted a research paper titled 「Study of Eoh-ByeonGab’s Answer of Examination in 8th reigns in King Tea-Jong」, to 『HanGookHakNonChong』vol. 56, an academic journal published by Institue of Korean Studies of Kookmin University.

The corresponding data are Jeong-si(庭試) at 2nd reigns in King YeonSanGun and Seong-MongJeong(成夢井)’s answer, Jeong-si(庭試) at 5th reign in King YeonSanGun and Nam-Gon(南袞)’s answer, Jeong-si(庭試) at 23rd reigns in King Jung-Jong and Yi-Jang(李璋)’s answer, and Jeong-si(庭試) at 29th reigns in King Jung-Jong and Na-SeChan’s answer. In addition, all of the four informal tests named ‘Jung-si(庭試)’ in <JeonCheakJeongSu(殿策精粹)> are related to "big events" at the time of the exam and answers written by Sarim faction who passed the exam with excellent grades.
